Nestled in the vast, 3488-hectare landscape near Fraserburg, this historic farm offers a harmonious blend of rugged Karoo grazing land and flat veld.
The heart of the property is the farmhouse, built in 1871, featuring three comfortable bedrooms, a full bathroom, a welcoming living room, a sunroom, dining room, pantry, and a kitchen anchored by a traditional Aga stove. The interior preserves its heritage with warm Yellowwood ceilings and original Oregon Pine planks in the lounge, and a spacious attic. Modernity is woven in through a 5kVA inverter power system and a 2,500-liter water supply tank for the house, fed by a robust borehole that functions as a natural fountain nearby.
Functionally, the farm is highly organized for livestock management, boasting a jackal-proof perimeter fence and well-maintained internal fencing dividing the property into thirteen main camps, each supplied by two water troughs, three smaller camps near the house. Water resources are plentiful, comprising two earth dams, six boreholes, four windpumps, six zinc dams, and one large ground dam. The predominantly sour veld terrain supports a carrying capacity for 450 smaller and 32 larger livestock units, with additional facilities including a traditional cookhouse, a "corbelled house", and an open shelter connected to a closed storage building dedicated to tractors, "bakkies", trailers, and essential spare equipment.
